Utilizing Swageless Cable Railing Technology for Fast and Easy Installations
A swageless cable railing fitting does not require and type of special tools, crimping or machinery. These fittings have become very popular with DIY installers and professionals for reasons of versatility and ease of installation. Often compared to “compression fittings” used in other industries, swageless fittings use a one way locking mechanism to secure the cable to the fitting. Stainless steel cable is allowed to enter the fitting in one direction while grabbing if pulled in the other direction. In the case that a cable is cut too long or the railing system needs to be dismantled for any reason; the fittings can also be released and re used.
Swageless cable railing systems save installers time and money by eliminating the need for expensive machinery or crimping tools. The aesthetics are also improved by offering a wide variety of fitting choices without the visible marring that can be caused by field crimping. The strength of attachment provided by a swageless fitting can exceed the breaking strength of the cable itself, ensuring the safety and durability of the system.
